Happy Monday!
Are you loving the Butterfly Basics Stamp Set and Framelits as much as I am?!?!? This set/bundle is one of my most favorite items in the Occasions Catalog.
Let’s take a look at my Z-fold card:
I really like the layers and colors of this card. If you haven’t tried this card style yet, the measurements are 4 1/4 x 11, scored at 2 3/4 and 5 1/2.
You can see the layered and inlaid die cut butterfly better from this angle:
After die-cutting the butterfly, I stamped using Baked Brown Sugar, stamped off once. The negative die-cut piece (3 1/4 x 3 1/2) was then attached to the Baked Brown Sugar piece (3 3/4 x 3 1/2), and the Crushed Curry butterfly was inlaid. The Whisper White butterfly was adhered with dimensionals and Thick Baker’s Twine was used for the antennae.
Here is the card opened:
Again, I stamped off once on the Whisper White piece, but stamped full strength on the left panel. Oops, just noticed I forgot the pearls above and below the sentiment. Better check the other cards to make sure I added them (this is the thank you card I am sending for February orders).
I am linking this card to the following challenges:
CCEE #1509 – Inlaid Die Cuts
PP #234 – Think Spring
Thanks for stopping by!
